Report: 75 Percent of TNIV Gender-Related Problems in Updated NIV Bible
CP Current Page: U.S. | Wednesday, May 11, 2011 | Coronavirus →
By Katherine T. Phan, Christian Post Reporter Follow | Wednesday, May 11, 2011
A new report by a leading critic of the TNIV finds that 75 percent of gender-related problems in the now-defunct version are retained in the updated NIV Bible.
The Committee on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood this week published a full critical evaluation of the new NIV Bible, concluding that the latest translation "cannot be considered sufficiently trustworthy in its translation of gender language." The findings were consistent with the group's November statement that refused to commend the 2011 NIV (actually copyrighted 2010) due to "gender-related" language problems it previously identified in the TNIV.
In the new NIV Bible, the Committee for Bible Translation – translators of the NIV – put back in some passages masculine pronouns, including "son," "he," "him," "his," "father," and "brother." The new translation debuted in March and was promoted by publisher Zondervan as "gender-neutral" and the latest update to the bestselling NIV in 25 years.
But those changes were not enough to satisfy the CBMW.
The new 23-page review by CBMW found that the latest NIV translation included 2,766 gender-related "inaccuracies" from the TNIV, only a 25 percent improvement from the 3,699 "inaccuracies" of the TNIV.
Most of the language that was kept the same from the TNIV occurs in the Old Testament, the report showed.
CBMW also published two Excel spreadsheets, one for the Old Testament and another for the New Testament, detailing the raw data that formed the basis for the study. The spreadsheets included a summary of the statistical findings and an exhaustive list of specific words that were changed.
Using its findings, CBMW also contended the 2011 NIV is not a revision based on the 1984 NIV, but a revision based on the 2005 TNIV.
Another major critique by the conservative evangelical organization is that the 2011 NIV language favors "evangelical feminists" in regards to women's role in the church.
In particular, the report took issue with 1 Timothy 2:12, the verse typically raised in opposition to women being ordained as pastors or holding leadership positions in ministry. The 2011 NIV revises the phrase "have authority" to "assume authority."
NIV(1984): I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
NIV(2011): I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.
Some Bible bloggers say that the revision leaves the debate on whether women should be able to lead a church open.
CBMW disagrees, saying the new translation of 1 Timothy 2:12 supports the idea of having women pastors and leaders in church.
"[W]omen pastors and elders can just say, 'I'm not assuming authority on my own initiative; it was given to me by the other pastors and elders.' Therefore any woman could be a pastor or elder so long as she does not take it upon herself to 'assume authority,'" the group stated.
NIV translators "have given legitimacy to a feminist interpretation that did not have legitimacy from any other modern English translation," CBMW added.
The analysis also points to another highly disputed verse, 1 Corinthians 14:33-34, regarding women's role in the church.
NIV(1984): For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
As in all the congregations of the saints women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says.
NIV(2011): For God is not a God of disorder but of peace – as in all the congregations of the Lord's people.
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
CBMW argued that the separate paragraph on women remaining silent also favors a feminist interpretation of the Bible.
But the report points out that by separating "women should remain silent in the churches" from "as in all the congregations of the Lord's people," the text supports the feminist argument that Paul was only addressing a local problem at Corinth.
In February, a Zondervan executive told The Christian Post that it has no intention of issuing a response to CBMW's November critique.
Chip Brown, senior vice president of Bibles for Zondervan, has maintained that they "cannot please everyone."
"What the CBMW said was they cannot commend it. That's fine. They may like other translations better," Brown told CP.
"We're at a place in time where as long as people aren't being unbiblical with their translation, people can agree to disagree on the rendering of certain verses. That's just the way it goes."
After ripping the 2011 NIV apart, CBMW only had two good things to say about the new translation: (1) 933 improvements in accuracy in translating gender language in places where CBMW had criticized the TNIV in 2002 and 2005 and (2) the entire translation process was carried on in a commendable spirit of transparency and openness.
In its concluding remarks of the analysis, CBMW again reiterated its disapproval of the 2011 NIV.
"We regret, therefore, that we cannot recommend the 2011 NIV as a sufficiently reliable English translation. And unless Zondervan changes its mind and keeps the current edition of the 1984 NIV in print, the 2011 NIV will soon be the only edition of the NIV that is available. Therefore, unless Zondervan changes its mind, we cannot recommend the NIV itself."

The present invention relates to a nail-driving tool with an illumination device.
Nail-driving tools are well known and have become a crowded art. Most improvements in the nail-driving tools result from user needs. When using a nail-driving tool in a space delimited by plywood or the like, it is often difficult for the user to clearly see the position of the nail-driving tool, as the space is dark. Thus, the user often has to grope in the dark and thus does poor work. The present invention is intended to provide an illumination device for a nail-driving tool to solve this problem.
An object of the present invention is to provide a nail-driving tool with an illumination device to provide illumination while working.
A nail-driving tool in accordance with the present invention comprises a body and an illumination device detachably mounted to the body. The body comprises at least one engaging member formed thereon, and the illumination device comprises a casing having an engaging groove for releasably engaging with the engaging member on the body. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the body comprises a plurality of engaging members formed thereon, and the illumination device comprises a casing having an engaging groove for releasably engaging with one of the engaging members of the body.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a nail-driving tool in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of an illumination device of the nail-driving tool in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3A is a sectional view taken along plane A—A in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3B is a view similar to FIG. 3A, wherein the illumination device is turned on.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along plane B—B in FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a schematic view illustrating use of the nail-driving tool in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a schematic side view illustrating a modified embodiment of the nail-driving tool in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating separate use of the illumination device.
Referring to FIGS. 1 through 5 and initially to FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, a nail-driving tool 10 in accordance with the present invention generally includes a body 11 and a magazine 12. A valve-operated mechanism (not shown) is mounted in the body 11 to drive a nail from the magazine 12 out of the body 11 when a trigger 13 on the body 11 is triggered. Such an arrangement is conventional and therefore not described in detail.
At least one engaging member 14 is mounted on the body 11. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the engaging member 14 is a dovetail block. An illumination device 20 is detachably mounted to the body 11. In this embodiment, the illumination device 20 comprises a casing 21, a lid 22, a switch 26, a bulb 25, a first conductive plate 23, and a second conductive plate 24.
The casing 21 comprises an engaging groove 211 (preferably a dovetail groove) in an outer periphery thereof for engaging with the engaging member 14 on the nail-driving tool 10. Thus, the illuminating device 20 can be detachably mounted to any desired position on the nail-driving tool 10 only if there is an engaging member 14 provided in the desired position. Namely, the nail-driving tool 10 may include as many engaging members 14 as required. The casing 21 comprises a compartment 212 having a first end with an end wall in which a hole 213 is defined and an open second end that is closed by the lid 22. The casing 21 further includes a transverse hole 214.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3A, the first conductive plate 23 is mounted in the compartment 212 and comprises a first end having a bulb seat 231 for receiving the bulb 25 and a second end 232. The second conductive plate 24 is mounted in the compartment 212 and comprises a first end 241 facing the transverse hole 214 of the casing 21 and a second end 242. The first end 241 of the second conductive plate 24 is located between the transverse hole 214 of the casing 21 and the second end 232 of the first conductive plate 23. The lid 22 is mounted to close the open second end of the compartment 212 of the casing 21 and comprises a conductive plate 221 in electrical connection with the second end 242 of the second conductive plate 24. The switch 26 comprises an inner end 261 extending through the transverse hole 214 so as to be operably connected to the first end 241 of the second conductive plate 24 and an outer end 262 outside the casing 21 for manual operation. The bulb 25 is mounted in the bulb seat 231 of the first conductive plate 23 and extends through the hole 213 of the casing 21. A battery 30 is mounted between the conductive plate 221 on the lid 22 and the bulb 25.
The switch 26 of the illumination device in FIG. 3A is in an off position. The switch 26 can be moved in the transverse hole 214 of the casing 21 to an on position shown in FIG. 3B, in which the first end 241 of the second conductive plate 24 is moved to a place in electrical contact with the second end 232 of the first conductive plate 23. A closed circuit is thus created and the bulb 25 lights to provide required illumination.
Referring to FIG. 5, the illumination device 20 can be attached to any desired position on the body 11 of the nail-driving tool 10 to suit both a right-handed user and a left-handed user. Referring to FIG. 6, the illumination device 20 can be mounted on top of the body 11 when used in a limited space. Referring to FIG. 7, the illumination device 20 can be detached from the body 11 for separate use.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

Students voice opinions after local elections
November 13, 2012 12:00 am by James Warmington
Many of the issues that brought local candidates to power in the 18- to 24-year-old demographic were student issues.
Students, such as Connor Hurst, a freshman majoring in mechanical engineering, said the results of the state and local elections will have more impact on USF and college students than some of the larger elections.
These results affect funding for colleges, he said. They can affect opportunities now at college, as well as afterward like finding jobs and housing.
Student body President Brian Goff, said the results of the elections, such as the replacement of former state Rep. Shawn Harrison (R), a USF alumnus, with Mark Danish (D), will launch new efforts in communication between the campus and representatives.
Harrison knew struggles of USF students, he said. Now we have to make that aware to the new representatives, like Danish and the others.
Danish won control of the states 63rd district for the House, and Tom Lee (R) won the race for the states 24th district in the Senate.
In total, Democrats won six of the local elections, and Republicans won two.
Steven Boyer, a junior majoring in history and political science, thought these results would bring more diversity to state legislature.
Ultimately, its better if Republicans lose a few seats, he said. The balance of power is off, as it is now. Given how diverse a state Florida is, its important that the opposition have a voice.
Susan MacManus, political analyst and professor of political science at USF, said these Democratic victories will have an effect on politics in Tallahassee for a state that has had a Republican advantage for more than a decade.
The Republicans cant automatically just pass everything through, she said. The Democrats now have enough votes to hold things up procedurally.
Kassi Romero, a freshman majoring in biology, said she was very happy with the results.
Democrats, she said, usually tend to side with college students and colleges on many of the issues, such as funding and student loans.
Its an impact thats going to favor college students, she said.

Q: python regex: get name of named group I have something like this:
$ pattern = re.compile('(?P<group1>AAA|BBB|CCC)|(?P<group2>DDD|EEE|FFF)')

If I'm looking at a match object I'm not really interested which specific text was matched, I just want to know if it was group1 or group2
groupdict() gives me something like this:
$ match.groupdict()
$ {'group1': None, 'group2': 'DDD'}

Now, of course, I could find out that it's group2 by just iterating over the dict, but that seems slow if I have a lot of matches to check.
Is there a more direct way to get the group name? (Python 2.7)

A: Maybe lastgroup?
>>> pattern = re.compile('(?P<group1>AAA|BBB|CCC)|(?P<group2>DDD|EEE|FFF)')
>>> m = pattern.search("AAA")
>>> m.lastgroup
'group1'
>>> m = pattern.search("DDD")
>>> m.lastgroup
'group2'

Good morning, class. Today we'll talk about language.
Let's compare these two passages. They are both from a recent edition of the LA Times. Our question is, Why can we describe food better than we can describe a movie?
"Fried pigs' ears are on the menu too, cut like thick fries, crunchy and curiously sticky at the same time, their richness cut by a scarlet harissa aioli. A few bites are interesting, but they're so rich I wouldn't want to eat an entire order by myself."
"The film is too long on exposition in some places, too short in others, never just right."
I will grant that it is much easier to describe pig's ears than narrative exposition. But it isn't more important. Pig's ears are, well, pig's ears. Exposition is about how we tell our stories and how we understand our lives.
I'm not carping critics, because the contrast is all too typical. Plus, our national dialogue about creative culture is further degraded by other typical statements – like this one: "Hollywood's 'creative' personnel and their TV network distribution outlets have deliberately unleashed literally unparalleled levels of profanity and graphic language upon the public" (Parents Television Council, 2010 report).
Social conservatives always seem to believe our culture is going to hell in a hand basket and they have a nostalgic fantasy about halcyon days when art was clean and simply made and nobody used bad language. (That nostalgic image is false.) Social progressives, on the other hand, proclaim we are living in a time of diversity and great creative expression, which should be respected and glorified, and audiences who can't see the value in an artist's work are blinded by their generational and cultural prejudices.
This is all colossal misdirection.
To re-make our language about creativity, let's start here: Culture is not defined by "obscenity," "indecency," "diversity," "multiplicity" or any of the terms hurled by the Right or the Left. Our society has become too polarized along so-called wedge issues, and the discussion of culture is least served when it comes from a political point of view, as when the Right complains about vulgarity and concludes that culture is offensive, or when the Left celebrates diversity and concludes that culture is cool. Culture is not a matter of red vs. blue, of one political stripe or another. In fact, culture is not defined by any single thing.
"Culture" is the creative output of our society, the collective work of millions of individuals who make movies, books, plays, television shows, paintings, dance, buildings, music – work that expresses parts of themselves to be shared with the community-at-large. Creative work surrounds us and we define ourselves when we embrace, ignore or reject it.
Especially, we define ourselves by our ability to define it.
Culture is about our souls and our future. Culture is hope and sweat and muscle cramps and erasing until it is right, representing how we see the world, bravely and vulnerably, through our means of expression. As long as we don't have the words to describe our culture, we allow ourselves to be shaped by a force for which we take no responsibility.
On the other hand, if we find the new language to explore our culture, it will bend in an upward-facing arc.
Homework assignment: Write a paragraph about something creative and describe it as best you can. Or, fry some pig's ears. Whichever seems more appealing to you.

Q: Automating database restoration of SQL Server transaction log files on standby mode I am wondering if I get help from this house on the following issue.
I have a standby database that should be restored with the set of transaction log files I get from the vendor's(eClincalWorks) sftp site daily.
The automation I am looking for is to do the following tasks:
1- Download the daily transaction files from the vender's sftp site and save to the local drive.
Note: the files in the sftp server are in a zip folder named as db_xxxx_today'sDate contains the daily transaction log files that are backed-up every 30 min at the production server.

*Extracting the zipped folder into a different folder in the local drive

*Scheduling restoration of the extracted-log files into the SQL database in the correct LSN order and in standby mode.

Please let me know if I need to explain more to my question and thanks in advance for any of your help on this matter!
Lilly.

A: Keep in mind that the first time your client does full backup, you will not be able to restore log files before full backup restore, so that step should be implemented in your automation.

Difficulties of genetically modified foods and recommendations for resolution
Plant breeding is the foundation of modern agriculture and has existed for as long as farming. Scientists and farmers have relied on plant breeding to develop crops with superior qualities, such as drought tolerance and disease resistance, by exploiting the plants' genetic variations. The growing demand for higher production and faster-growing produce has necessitated an increase in research and genetically modified food production. In the 1980s, scientists began intensive research into the possibility of transferring beneficial genes to crops of interest. By 1994, there was a breakthrough when Flavr Savr tomato was allowed into the market. The antisense gene for delayed ripening was successfully inserted into Flavr Savr tomatoes which made them last longer than conventional tomatoes. It was an achievement that marked the potential of genetically modified food.
Today, most of the scientific developments in GM food mainly focus on generating plants that resist herbicides. Even though there has been systematic development in the production of GM food, there has been massive resistance by organizations and individuals who believe that genetically modified food is unsafe for human consumption. This research uses data from various organizations that oppose GM food to explain why companies use biotechnology to transfer genes to other crops. Contrary to the opinion that GM food will help address food safety concerns and food security globally, our finding indicates that health concerns are a significant problem for this development.
The Monsanto Company was an American corporation that functioned between 1901 and 2018 before Bayer purchased it. The company had made remarkable achievements in agrichemicals and biotechnology, making it a leading producer of GM crops. The company is also reputed as being a leader in the supply of seeds and herbicides. Its long history in improving crop characteristics enabled it to excel in producing and selling GM seeds around the world. Genetic modification occurs when genes from one organism are inserted into another organism. There are different names given to this process. Genetic modification and research on its safety are both long processes. This process begins with identifying the gene that is to be inserted into a crop which is then incorporated into the crop's genetic element through the promoter gene. Finally, these genetic elements are inserted into the genome of the crop. Scientists state that this process takes close to 13 years.
Genetic modification has focused on plants but is projected to extend to animals and commercial use. Food insecurity and climate change have been the driving force in developing GM crops. Recently, crop production has declined and the situation has worsened because most crops are vulnerable to pests, weeds, and diseases. Scientists resorted to developing GM crops to mitigate the effects of climate change and food insecurity. Despite these outcomes, GM is faced with resistance that companies such as Bayer cannot overlook.
1.2 Purpose of the report
This report explains to Bayer why people are afraid of GM foods and offers suggestions to the company on how to address this concern. These concerns are often related to companies lacking evidence on the technology's safety and efficiency. For example, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that the insertion of genes does not make an organism less stable or lead to detrimental mutations. Furthermore, the duration of gene insertion impact is unknown. Lack of information future effects means that it is a challenging for a company to proclaim the timespan of the effects. More findings reveal that most GM foods have not been ascertained to be entirely safe for human consumption. Therefore, this report illustrates to Bayer Company the nature and magnitude of challenges it will face whenever it is introducing genetically modified food into the market. Apart from sharing the challenges, this paper will also offer suggestions to the company based on the findings.
1.3 Problems that motivated report
There have been many legislations and lawsuits filed against the company concerning the development of GM crops. Some of these cases have been a stumbling block to some of the progress made in developing more GM seeds. The company spends an enormous amount of money to settle the issues, which results in losses for the organization. This report was motivated by several concerns that have ended up being highly contested court processes.
2.1 Research findings
The following were the founding of this report. Firstly, there is a potential transfer of allergy causing genes. As much as the transfer of genes could be safely transmitted in the target crop, some scientists are concerned that these genes could be transferred to unintended crops, thus harming humans (Aggarwal, Phansal & Sarath, 2020). The process of transferring genetic material is rigorous and extensive. Therefore, avoiding mistakes is difficult and studies lack evidence that genes cannot end up in another untargeted crop following the modification. This makes it difficult to trace the transfer of allergenic genes to humans upon consumption. One example of this is the transfer of the allergenic Brazilian-nut gene which transferred in transgenic soybean variety.
More people are becoming aware of food allergens due to the mass sensitization of the matter. The concern about this problem is connected to biotechnology that generates GM crops. This study found that Atopic reactions that occur as hives and other skin reactions are the primary allergenic responses which can result in death. More people fear allergies in GM crops so much so that some countries in Africa have rejected food assistance despite Americans consuming the same food without reported side effects.
Secondly, unintended incorporation of GM in the food chain is a major issue. As stated earlier, genetically modified food should only be used in areas that have been tested to be safe. However, these products may extend beyond their intended purpose. It is reported that there are incidents where the products end up in the food chain (Clark & Maselko, 2020). A good case is GM maize called Starlink which ended up in human food unintentionally. This incident was not the first time Bt corns were eaten. However, the means through which StarLink got introduced into the market was outright illegal, as this research was discovered. The product was intended for animal consumption as feeds, not food for humans. Although the United States Environmental protection Agency considered the product as a potential allergy to humans, this conclusion lacked substantive evidence. StarLink had protein elements reported to have slower digestion times which was a concern to the critics. This study also found that the food had to be consumed for an extended period to become allergic. Even though some people had consumed StarLink, the quantity was not enough to cause any harm.
The last problem that our study found is that GM leads to the transfer of antibiotic resistance. Scientists often add resistant genes to help distinguish GM plants from other plants (Government of Netherlands Website, 2020). The problem with this process is that later, the plants' genes may find a way into the soil bacteria or a person's digestive system upon consumption. Therefore, it is argued that the bacteria that receive these genes may develop resistance. Due to this transfer of genes into harmful bacteria, humans may become too vulnerable and less resistant to bacteria. According to the Centre for Disease Control in the United States alone, close to 3 million antibiotic infections happen annually, and around 35,000 people die as a result (Thorpe, Joski & Johnston, 2018). There is no documentation on GM's input on this number but is it worth worrying about and preventing. This finding indicates that health concern is a significant challenge for a GM food producer.
2.2 Criteria upon which the recommended solution will be based
This document would like to highlight the following recommendations. First, whenever Bayer releases a GM crop, it should also provide the public with sufficient information on how it meets safety standards. Data do not just allow scientists to understand their initiatives but also boost customer satisfaction (Maru et al., 2018). Providing more data on both the success in inserting genes and their safety when consumed by humans is vital in addressing the concerns that critics raise. Bayer needs to ensure that before they release GM foods, they have carried out public awareness and education on the product by sharing more facts regarding the food crop (Jones et al., 2019). Consumers may not be concerned about biotechnology's success but rather its impact on their lives. Like in medicine, the information regarding the test results is more important than the development processes' data. For this reason, Bayer should take more time testing and releasing information on the possibility of consuming GM food safely. Without adequate data on this possibility, any success will always face fierce criticisms by other organizations who also lack data to back their claim.
Another recommendation is strict processing controls. There is a need to have strict measures to avoid accidental release of unauthorized food into the market. GM is a technology that faces strong criticism, which calls for the company to have stringent standards that curb mistakes. When StarLink was accidentally released, the US Food and Drug Administration (Grossman, 2016) received more than 30 cases of conserved people whose bodies had adverse reactions upon consuming the corn. Seven of the patients were investigated. Lawsuits can be detrimental to a company's reputation when negligence cases are proven to have harmed human health. For this reason, this paper recommends that strict measures should be taken when releasing GM products, especially those that are not intended for human consumption. Preventing accidental release has an economic value as well as safety advantages.
This article also recommends the use of alternative markers to avoid developing resistant bacteria. Nothing can cause a health crisis more than a human having inefficient antibodies. Even as Bayer creates resistance to weeds through genetic modification, there is a need to ensure that its environmental and health impact is well checked. Using alternative markers for the genes inserted in another crop can help prevent bacterial resistance. In this case, the effectiveness of the model is critical, making this suggestion. As stated above, once genes have been transferred into a plant, bacteria can pick such genes for mutation. These bacteria can then develop resistance to antibodies when they end up in human bodies.
2.3 Analysis of data against criteria
This paper was to establish health challenges that GM companies like Bayer face and offer suggestions on how to solve the problems. Even before Bayer bought Monsanto company, it has been involved in very high-profile cases; in some of these cases, the company was the plaintiff, while in others, it was the defendant. Most of the time, the company was the plaintiff; it involved GM crops. Since the 1990s, the company has had more than 147 cases and only won 11 against farmers. After it was acquired by not its mother company Bayer, the concerns have still been raised on biotechnology implications to human health. Even though some of these complaints are genuine and backed by vital evidence, most of the cases cannot stand the basic scientific test, which makes GM a critical venture (Yaneff, 2020). Even though the company loses a few of these cases, they often result in extensive damages with the company losing a lot of money in the process.
Even as this paper made the general recommendation that more information needs to be made public, Bayer must create awareness of GM crops' significance and safety. There should be public trust in the process while the company releases GM crops. Farmers need these seeds for commercial advantages such as reduced production cost and resistance to pests and disease. However, there should not be a rush in releasing the product if its health implications have not been assessed. This technology has faced strong resistance in third-world countries, mainly due to wrong technology perceptions. Lack of public education can be resolved through rigorous awareness campaigns highlighting the achievements and decimate misinformation about GM food.
To sum up, biotechnology is a modern development that faces criticism that can be resolved through extensive research. Some of the contemporary farming challenges, such as weed control and production cost in general, are being addressed through biotechnology. Lack of public awareness and education on GM food is the main challenge in this innovation. For Bayer to avoid these challenges, it needs to restrain from food that may be harmful to people. Most of the lawsuits against the company are related to health complications and death caused by unsafe food. Avoiding releasing such food will help rebuild the reputation of the company that GM food has been tarnishing. After putting a halt on foods that causes harm, another step would be to conduct public awareness of GM food. Education is lacking among most people on the contribution of certified GM products. Creating awareness of GM food is a recommendation of this paper to make more people knowledgeable. In other words, without GM foods that cause death and with intensive public awareness on the products, the company can avoid lawsuits and promote healthy living.
A way to follow my recommendation would be to have a PR team dedicated to sharing the testing done on GM food safety. They can release short advertisements and create labels with small information for the public to read. Furthermore, Bayer could build partnerships with local farmers and create educational campaigns to educate the public on how Bayer is approaching health concerns of GM foods. These actions will build trust between the company and the public.

SYNOPSIS: Drilling for oil and gas got its start in Alberta around 1883. While most of the early technology was imported from the United States, it was the creative tinkering of Albertans exploring for oil who adapted that technology to the conditions here. And it was people like Howard Hughes who made millions off their inventions. Professor Sandy Gow is writing a book on changes in oil drilling technology which covers the period 1883 to 1970.

Episode 3 (Indigenous People)
Eric Armstrong
In this episode, Paul talks with guests Sera-Lys McArthur (a mixed-race Canadian actress) and Eric Armstrong (professor of theatre at York University in Toronto). While the speech of indigenous people (particularly those of North America) is the broad topic, Eric and Paul also talk at length about the politics and ethics of dialect work in theatre and film, and of the gathering of dialect samples from indigenous speech donors. You will hear a clip from Sera-Lys McArthur's miniseries, The Englishman's Boy. The text and translation of the Nakota speech you will hear in that clip is as follows:
Eeneedukabee hay. Weebazoga yuka kyana.
Are you hungry? There are Saskatoon berry bushes nearby.
Hee, owa-yagay washtay
Oh, that is very pretty!
Duka wakta, weebazoga oda nuda shten nee-'ray neeyazakta
Be careful: if you eat too many Saskatoon berries, your stomach will really hurt.
And for more information on this topic, you might check out a new short film titled To Wake Up the Nakota Language. Described as "a tender portrait of Armand McArthur, the last fluent speaker of the Nakota language in Pheasant Rump First Nation, Treaty 4 territory in southern Saskatchewan," the film is playing the DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in May.

Episode 1 (Shakespeare's Original Pronunciation)
This first podcast focuses on Shakespeare's Original Pronunciation (the dialect of English spoken in the late 16th and early 17th century). It also serves as an introduction to the entire In a Manner of Speakingseries, as Paul briefly touches on several topics of upcoming podcasts. For more information about the Orlando Shakespeare Theater's upcoming production of Twelfth Night, visit the site. And here is the Original Pronunciation text that Paul references:
If music be the food of love, play on
ɪf mju̹ːzɪk beː ðə fu̹ːd ə lɤv ple ɑːn
Give me excess of it, that surfeiting,
gɪ mɪ ɪksɛs əv ɪt ðət sɐ˞fətɪn
The appetite may sicken and so die.
ðɪ apətəit mɛ sɪkn̩ n̩ so dəi
That strain again! It had a dying fall.

O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound
o ɪt kɛː oə˞ mɪ i˞ ləik ðə sweːt səʊnd
That breathes upon a bank of violets.

" A U.S. Army OH-58 Kiowa helicopter performed a hard landing south of Kirkuk this morning," the U.S. army said in a statement received by the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
The statement added "the two injured pilots onboard were evacuated to a military treatment facility in Kirkuk."
The U.S. army is investigating the incident but it said "preliminary reporting shows the cause of the hard landing was mechanical and not hostile fire."

Best Braces: Smile Direct!
Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners Best Buy Deals April
smiledirectclubreview / By BracesGuru
In June, the thin, transparent plastic trays that fit over her leading and bottom teeth can be found in the mail. McKinney is working through the series slowly, swapping the first set for the next, and the next, as her teeth move. It'll take about nine months in all. But after three months of using these trays nearly every day and night, McKinney is delighted about displaying her new smile (Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners Best Buy Deals April).
Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Inside one of SmileDirectClub's New york city City areas. SmileDirectClub's company design appears to be working. Align Innovation– the business that makes Invisalign, SmileDirect's primary rival– invested $46.7 million to become SmileDirect's unique provider in 2015, and this year invested another $12.8 million, to own a total of 19% of the company.
On the other hand, lookalikes have launched with similar services: Orthly, released by two University of Pennsylvania students, now provides services to customers in Philadelphia, and Candid Co. released in New york city this summer season. A SmileDirect client can be matched with one of 225 affiliated dental practitioners or orthodontists in all 50 states. These dental experts remotely examine patient cases and after that create the aligners that SmileDirect sends out in the mail.
The company declined to name any of the doctor within its network, and would not provide details about its monetary relationships with them. "Essentially they are collecting payments and paying us marketing costs," Fenkell said."I think that claim is rather bogus," AAO's basic counsel Dillard stated. "The consumers do not even see a dental practitioner.
(SmileDirectClub has a two-star rating on Yelp.) And many expert dentists are alarmed that clients never ever see a licensed physician prior to or throughout their treatment."It blew my mind," Casi Stubbs, a Florida orthodontist and member of the American Association of Orthodontists, told BuzzFeed News. Like typical orthodontists, SmileDirect's dental experts base their prescriptions on computer system simulations of mouth scans.
"The teeth do not move biologically like they do on the computer system," Stubbs said. One of her clients, 60-year-old Charlene Burnham, is a SmileDirect consumer whose too-tight aligners cut her gums, exposing part of her tooth near the root. Burnham told BuzzFeed News she spent a week trying– and stopping working– to speak with a SmileDirect dental expert on the phone, then went to Stubbs for help."They were bleeding, they were cut to the root," Burnham said.
"I was appalled."A SmileDirect representative informed BuzzFeed News by e-mail that company-affiliated dentists "track the patient's development throughout treatment at routine intervals."The company "facilitates the interactions" of customers and oral providers, the agent said. "Dental service providers interact directly with clients through the customer website and by means of SMS or phone when proper or shown."In a YouTube video that's been seen over 21,000 times considering that June, Baltimore orthodontist Jeffrey Miller alerted people far from the service, saying that no orthodontist would ever recommend aligners without very first taking the X-rays that SmileDirect skips.
(The video was removed after this story released.)Grant Olson, a dental practitioner in Springfield, Missouri, informed BuzzFeed News that the business's product marketing, which compares itself with orthodontist-fitted Invisalign, is deceiving. Unlike Invisalign trays, which orthodontists can enhance by sticking special attachments on a tooth, SmileDirect's item is restricted to really slight corrections: The aligners can fix a tilt, however can't move a tooth's orientation or position together with its root.
He explained that SmileDirect-affiliated orthodontists just approve cases that appropriate for a remote consultation and do not require follow-up dental gos to (Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners Best Buy Deals April). Laws for dental experts differ throughout states, but there are some typical styles in the 36 problems sent out by the AAO: Some states consider making impressions and supplying retainers to be the function of a certified medical professional, but SmileDirectClub generally supplies those services.
AAO basic counsel Dillard also informed BuzzFeed News that the business's business design incentivizes dental practitioners connected with SmileDirect to prescribe the trays even if they aren't required. Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Although the company hasn't attracted the attention of regulators yet, consumer complaints are plentiful online. TL; DR: Prepare for a rough trip.
The huge majority of customers in these groups resign themselves to dealing with the snags since there are simply no other choices (Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners Best Buy Deals April)."If you can be client, want a cost effective plan, SDC IS the ideal way to go! Having a favorable attitude and being patient goes a LONG method," Melanie Masso wrote to BuzzFeed News.
For numerous other customers, the ride is a bust. Seattle resident Melissa Gulick told BuzzFeed News that at the end of nearly a year of treatment, the aligners have destroyed her bite: Her front teeth touch prior to her molars can make contact (Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners Best Buy Deals April). "I'm quite annoyed– food is hard to chew now and they will not fix it!"Gulick said that after problems to the business, SmileDirectClub concurred to continue treatment totally free.
When inquired about complaints that the trays destroyed consumers' bites, a SmileDirect representative told BuzzFeed News: "Over 95% of our customers complete treatment and validate their completed new smile. It is very important to bear in mind that with any orthodontic treatment, bites will continue to move till the treatment is ended up."Another consumer, 24-year-old Drexel College student Kacie Durham, informed BuzzFeed News that SmileDirectClub sent her a simulated treatment plan that made her teeth look worse."It really made my teeth appear more uneven at the bottom," she said.
Durham returned her trays and gotten a refund. Later, an orthodontist not affiliated with the company informed her that her teeth would need to be filed and formed before they might be lined up. Durham felt duped: SmileDirect had authorized her for a treatment that would never ever have worked."If a potential consumer is dissatisfied with the 3d preview of his or her smile, there is no commitment to acquire aligners," the SmileDirectClub agent stated (Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners Best Buy Deals April).
Minelle Tendler, a Boca Raton orthodontist, signed up with one of the biggest Facebook groups, the 11,800-member SmileDirectClub Support, after two of her clients asked about the item. In perusing the posts that appear in her Facebook feed, Tendler stated that she's not seen anyone state they have actually been able to speak with a dental expert at the company.
"You're asking somebody who has no oral background, 'Is this going to work?'"More than when, Tendler has stopped short of responding to threads on the online forum. She sits on her hands due to the fact that the clients are not hers. "I'm looking at the photos and thinking, Oh my god, you require to get teeth taken out, do not do it."Primarily, she is fretted that people who are charmed by SmileDirectClub's low rate aren't totally knowledgeable about the disadvantages of skipping a dental go to.
A previous version of this short article misidentified him as an orthodontist. Align Innovation owns 19% of SmileDirectClub. A previous version of this story mentioned it was 17%. Also, SmileDirectClub started running in North Carolina in early October. A previous version of this story, based upon an August interview with cofounder Alex Fenkell, stated that the company was not operating in North Carolina.
Mail-in aligners may look like a great choice for a slight repair. However keep in mind you're not the expert on how very little a fix your teeth need. "It's challenging to go from something that's 90% good to make it 100% best; in my experience, I find that these are the more difficult cases," Dr.
The outcomes of using undetectable aligners can be extremely unforeseeable, because some individuals respond well to them and others won't. "It's very tough to monitor this by yourself, because– like everything in medicine– not everyone reacts the very same," he states. The genuine trouble features figuring out how to fix your smile if you're not reacting properly to the retainers, he says.
